A pioneer in the digital space, the New York native co-founded JASH, an original programming portal featuring the work of some of comedy's hottest names, including Sarah Silverman, Michael Cera, Reggie Watts and Tim & Eric. His goal: to produce high-quality web content at a relatively low cost.

Additionally, the married father of one, who graduated from USC and became an integral early employee at Maker Studios, helped launch and curate YouTube's first-ever comedy week. He also advises the White House on how to use YouTube to its advantage.

FIRST JOB:Intern and then PA on The West Wing.

20 YEARS FROM NOW: I hope I'll still be experimenting. That's the best part about the Internet now -- it's still the Wild Wild West. If you're not having fun right now in the digital space, you're not doing it right.

IF I'M NOT WORKING: Playing with my son. I never thought that I'd be as obsessed with him as I am. We played Avengers for three hours the other night.

IF I WEREN'T IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY: I play hockey, so in an ideal world I'd be playing hockey professionally.

BOOK ON MY NIGHTSTAND:Tina Fey's Bossypants
